Benefits

"JavaScript" as a benefit? Compared to VBA, yes of course. But JavaScript is not a nice language. The fact that CoffeScript exists and is so common proves it is not a benefit to use. --103.250.88.151 (talk) 22:18, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Limitations

Currently Google Apps Store does not allow connection to internal (behind-the-firewall) corporate databases, which is key to building business apps. Similarly, lack of other connectivity, such as LDAP connectivity, limits the level to which GAS can be used in the enterprise. Whilst technically correct, you can't make requests through firewalls; however you can access your data using JSON and REST API, or XML/HTTP, and you can perform authentication if you have Google Apps domain that has turned on SSO SAML, then you have access to your corporate data, and your LDAP users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotth1 (talk • contribs) 04:09, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
